Drew Gregory Autostraddle Z’s vocal change acts as a microcosm for being trans, a literalization of how awkward it can be to step into oneself. Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Joey Moser The Contending This is a film that delivers its emotional beats so clearly, and it features a breakout performance from Breton Lalama. Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Tomas Trussow The Lonely Film Critic It's thanks to the acting from Lalama and Lopez ... and Stevens’s sensitivity in finding joy in the smallest of moments as a director, that Really Happy Someday nevertheless emerges from its cocoon of woes with a sense of ultimate triumph and serenity. Rated: 3/5 Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Larry Fried That Shelf J Stevens' feature debut, [Really Happy Someday], is a raw yet tender coming-of-gender portrait [that] feels like a product of the genre’s evolution. Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Pat Mullen Xtra Magazine Really Happy Someday offers a striking metaphor for what it means to find one’s voice anew. Sep 22, 2024 Full Review Kayleigh Donaldson Pajiba Really Happy Someday is aptly titled. It’s a gently told but candid tale about the non-linear path towards happiness.
